Sander Spies

Independent,

As a developer always focusing on the reader of
the code. Fell in love with React in 2013 because of the
simplification it brought to state management. Regrets asking
for Flux. Big fan of CSS-in-JS and currently lost in
OCaml. Strongly believes in the importance of moving developers
to Reason as it removes a lot of the burdens that JavaScript
developers face daily. Can be blamed for several things in
Reason like JSX. Reason fan since day one.

Came to Reason led by the interest in finding better ways to create and maintain software. Stayed for the community (and OCaml!).
